Does Treatment for Neuropathy Pain Have to Involve Prescription Drugs? ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Treating a problem by masking the symptoms has never been a viable long term solution Previous treatment options for peripheral neuropathy have been a small handful of medications This type of pain relief is temporary Often these treatments lead to even more health problems, or worse yet addiction So many people innocently fall into abusing prescription pain pills while initially using them to alleviate the pain Many patients have been frustrated by traditional care, only to find their symptoms getting worse It is time to look into a solution to your pain that does not involve medication

Peripheral Neuropathy Explained

P e r i p h e r a l N e u r o p a t h y o c c u r s w h e n n e r v e s i n t h e extremities are damaged or destroyed Like static on a telephone line, this interrupts the normal communication between the brain and the skin, muscles and other parts of the body This condition predominantly affects the peripheral limbs (legs, feet, arms, and hands)

Diabetes is one potential cause of peripheral neuropathy, as uncontrolled sugar levels can damage your nerves Some other causes of neuropathy may include: reduced blood f l o w, h e r e d i t a r y d i s o r d e r s , i n f l a m m a t i o n , v i t a m i n deficiencies, and certain medications

There are many symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, which is essentially damage to the peripheral nerve system Some neuropathy sufferers describe it as wearing an invisible sock, pins and needles, burning pain, or extreme electriclike sensitivity to touch Others report the sensation of walking on broken glass or thumbtacks

Neuropathy May Contribute to Emotional Stress and Depression

Many people suffering with pain don’t realize that the symptoms could be due to peripheral neuropathy It is a condition that can be misdiagnosed or ignored until it is unbearable This can affect all aspects of your life and may even cause emotional stress or depression

• More than 100 types of peripheral neuropathy have been identified, each with its own symptoms and prognosis

• Peripheral neuropathy may be either inherited or acquired through disease processes or trauma In many cases, however, a specific cause cannot be identified

Peripheral nerves have the ability to regenerate axons, as long as the nerve cell itself has not died

The Solution: Non-Surgical, Lasting Neuropathy Pain Treatment

A t A l b r e c h t C h i r o p r a c t i c a n d We s t M i c h i g a n S p i n a l Decompression we have developed a drug-free program utilizing multiple therapies to relieve your symptoms of p e r i p h e r a l n e u r o p a t h y T h e f o u n d a t i o n o f t h i s h i g h l y s u c c e s s f u l t r e a t m e n t r e g i m e n i s L i g h t t h e r a p y c a l l e d HealthLight The HealthLight device consists of boot and calf pads that contain more than 250 red and infrared diodes Light energy from the diodes increases circulation, speeds up cellular energy production, and draws water, oxygen and nutrients to the damaged area Treatments are painless and gentle as the light is absorbed by the cells beneath the skin

This creates an optimal environment that helps reduce pain, inflammation, burning, tingling and numbness, and actually improves the ability to feel sensations

The Whole Program

In addition to the HealthLight, our program also incorporates several other modalities to improve nerve function, some of which include vibration therapy, balance training, and soft tissue mobilization We also utilize nutritional support, when necessary, to help address vitamin deficiencies and improve circulation With this multi faceted approach, we are able to customize the program to your individual needs and achieve the most effective results in relieving your symptoms of peripheral neuropathy

Not All Neuropathy Treatments Are Created Equal.

There are many types of neuropathy treatments available today Do not confuse this treatment with a common TENS device that is designed to temporarily block nerve signals In fact, it is just the opposite – it works to improve nerve function

Are You a Candidate for our Peripheral Neuropathy Program?

Patients come to us with all types of peripheral neuropathy

The potential causes are many and sometimes there is no clear risk factor for neuropathy Regardless, our first step is to evaluate your specific case to determine if it is a type of peripheral neuropathy we can help If so, the prognosis is generally favorable and treatment time is predictable Your neuropathy pain may be significantly reduced or possibly

No

It is that time of the year when we honor our mothers Mothers of faith have many admirable qualities Among other things they are loving, giving, nur tur ing, encouraging and suppor tive Faith in Chr ist is the best gift we can give to our children It is the most lasting legacy I have always been thankful for my Chr istian upbr inging This reminds me of the stor y of the fellow who was deter mined to sleep in one Sunday mor ning rather than to attend church His mother, who happened to be visiting in their home, called him to get up “Time to get up!” He gave her three reasons for staying in bed (1) He had had a rough night (2) He needed his rest (3) He did not want to go to church His mother replied, I’ll give you three reasons for getting up: (1) It is always a good thing to go to church (2) You will enjoy the fellowship of other believers (3) YOU RE THE MINISTER!!!

In a strange way this br ings to mind a mother who c a m e t o J e s u s o n b e h a l f o f h e r s i ck c h i l d (Matthew 15:21-28) She had three things which appeared to be going against her (1) She was a despised Canaanite (2) She was an outsider (3) She was annoying the disciples Jesus was not willing to tur n her away At first Jesus sounded harsh in saying He was only sent “to the lost sheep of Israel” (verse 24) She refused to give up He then said, “It is not r ight to take the children’s bread and toss it to their dogs” (verse 26) She responded “Yes, but even the dogs eat the cr umbs that fall from the masters’ table” (verse 27) Jesus praised her persistence and healed her demon-possessed daughter on the spot

The sur pr ise ending is that Jesus honored an unlikely mother as “Mother of the Moment ” One cannot help but think Jesus will honor any mother who comes to Him on behalf of her children A faithful mother will do just that and more than once!

With that I would like to ask God to bless ever y woman who has had a positive influence on a child

This devotional is dedicated to Mrs Helen Honeysett, mother of twelve, in celebration of her l00th Bir thday on May 13, 2023

I DA R E YO U TO B E L OV E D . . .

When people listen, God speaks

When people obey, God acts When God acts, people are chang ed

Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for my soul Psalm 66:16

“If you love me, you will keep my commandments And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper ” John 14:15-16

REFLECTION: One day a lawyer came to listen to Jesus teach At the end he asked Jesus, “What is the greatest commandment of the Law? Jesus answered, Matthew 22:37 “You shall love the Lord your God with all your hear t and with all your soul and with all your mind.” Jesus is saying we are to love like He loves To do that we need a Helper We need to be rebor n by the Spir it of God We need to be first reconnected with God 1 John 4:7 “Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God ” I am not saying that human beings are incapable of loving another person What I am saying is when God’s Spir it of love is in us, our love for another is more profound and deep The quality of Chr istian love is not focused on eros love or a self-seeking need to be love

It is agape love, meaning a holy love from God We are now shaped by Chr ist’s sacr ificial love When we obey Jesus’ commands, God’s love cures our love star ved souls

PRAYER TIME: Lord Jesus, thank you for what you have done to my soul You have brought me out from failed self-ser ving relationships into lear ning to love like you Praise your holy name

In Jesus Name, Amen

Thea Marie (Forney) JOHNSON

AGE 55 - Yucca Valley, California

Our beloved sister, Thea, was born on December 13, 1967, in National City, California to Janet L Hageman (Jackson) and passed on April 21, 2023 Thea loved the sunny California weather with its beautiful sunsets, walking with Brian and their dogs

Most importantly it gave her the year-round opportunity to serve Jehovah God and her life-long ministry work Through her ministry, she was able to help others by sharing a rare love for all without judgment, but rather provide words of encouragement, a listening ear, a shoulder to lean on, and offer a helping hand to anyone in need Thea was one of the most kind and caring souls to bless this earth - a true servant of God Our sister’s love for animals was just as strong as was her love for people She enjoyed adopting rescue dogs and giving them a safe harbor to grow, feel free and loved Everyone who knew Thea loved her infectious laugh, funny sayings like “shut the front door”, “what the beavis”, and “you’re a pumpkin head” were all expressions of love and terms of endearment To all her dear friends, know she thought of you often and truly loved you and your families She also loved country music taking cruises watching movies that made her laugh, cry and be scared, hanging out with friends and family, sharing a good meal, and reminiscing She is survived by her brothers, Ray (Sheila) Forney, Rodger (Christina) Salinas, and sister Tracy (Nate) Maurer and ex-husband, Brian Johnson She had special love for all her nieces and nephews: Dustin, Brooklynn, Randi, Seth, Garrett, Evan, Brady, Tori, Logan, and Grayson Great nieces and nephews: Haven, Jax, Braylin, Mason, Brylee, Elliot, Naomi, Remi, and Tripp Thea was preceded in death by her mother, Janet L Hageman (Jackson) Our beautiful sister left this earth way too soon as she still had so much love to give and life to live

You will be so, so missed, but for as long as there is a memory you will live in our hearts forever

Per her wishes, Thea was cremated, and a private Celebration of Life will be held later Love always, your family
